Praising religious freedom in India, America has said that India is the world's largest democracy and home to many religions. The US was asked why India has not been included in the list of 'countries of particular concern'. Responding to this, US State Department spokesman Ned Price said that India is home to all religions and India cannot be put in countries of special concern or special watch list. The Biden administration will continue to encourage India's commitment to protecting religious freedom for all.
Ned Price said that India and America are two big democratic countries of the world. We have worked together before. By working together, we can continue to show that our democracy can serve the needs of its people. We have to keep respecting human rights like religious freedom, this will make our democracy stronger.
